rpc.statd: eliminate --secure_statd

Clean up: Remove RESTRICTED_STATD to help make IPv6 changes simpler.
We keep the code behind RESTRICTED_STATD, and toss anything that is
compiled out when it is set.

RESTRICTED_STATD was added almost 10 years ago in response to CERT
CERT CA-99.05, which addresses exposures in rpc.statd that might allow
an attacker to take advantage of buffer overflows in rpc.statd while it
is running in privileged mode.

These days, I can't think of a reason why anyone would want to run
rpc.statd without setting RESTRICTED_STATD.  In addition, I don't
think rpc.statd is ever tested without it.

Removing RESTRICTED_STATD will get rid of some address storage and
comparison issues that will make IPv6 support simpler.  Plus it will
make our test matrix smaller!
